Damn Tape!

So I did really well on moving day. I didn't cry once all day, and we were just about finished. In fact I was literally trying to tape up the last box. Then it just sort of hit me that this was the last box, then the stupid tape got stuck to the roll, and it was the final straw, and I just started crying. All in all the day wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be though, and we made plans to see each other for Christmas and next summer.

 

I've also been spending time with other friends and I think stuff's going to be okay.

 

I'm a bit...ambivalent about stuff at work though. My manager abruptly and quit unexpectedly quit and there was a big shake up as a result. On the plus side I was assigned to the team of the manager I wanted, but on the down side our team was pretty much completely destroyed and I'll no longer be working directly with any of my former teammates, including the one I was getting to be fairly close with :(

 

Still, I guess everything's going to be okay, and I'm always talking about how I like change *shrug*

 

My cousin was in town the last few days. Her best friend's parents live in Houston so she was visiting with her. It was nice seeing her, but the other day we went out to dinner and she did say something that made me a bit sad. She said, very casually, "I'd never date someone poor" :angry: It just struck me as horribly elitist and all around closed-minded. I don't know where she gets off saying stuff like that anyway. By all accounts I had a more "preppy", potentially snobby background than she did and I'd never even think of entertaining such notions. On the other hand she's a less romantic "love oriented" person anyway. I remember the other thing she said a few years ago that made me sad was when she essentially said that someone was a fool to make a major sacrifice for love. Apparently it just wasn't very "practical or realistic".

 

*sigh* I suppose my family, like all others, has it's fair share of issues and downfalls.

 

Still, she's also had a more difficult life than I have, so I guess I have no right to fault her priorities.

 

Anyway, I have some major cleaning up to do before bed, and I have to be up early, so I'd better get on that.

 

Take care all and have an awesome day :D

Everyone loves you Kevvers!!!! :D

 

Your cousin, sad to say, has a point. I like to think that if I loved someone it wouldn't matter, but the real world rears its ugly head sometimes and there's probably a point at which I would be forced to give up and call it quits even if I did love the person, I just don't know.

 

Well I hope everything turns out great for you. Take care and have a good one.

Hi Kev,

 

I don't much sitting here oceans away so I'll try a virtual hug! Hope it works and comforts you. :hug::hug:

 

When friends leave, it is indeed very painful. But as you said, they may be away, but always there for you. Right? And try to meet other people too; this way, more people will be blessed with your precious friendship! ^_^

 

As for your cousin, I'm really sad about her. :( I usually feel sad for people who live their sole life according to the society. A society who doesn't care about your aches and pain. -_-

 

Take care,

Ieshwar :king:

Awwww, :hug: I think you're cousin just needs to find someone she really loves. I'm sure it won't matter then whether they're rich or poor....on the other hand, maybe she see's got really bad memories of being poor and doesn't want that for herself or for any potential kids she may bring into the world ~shrugs~

Hey Jamie!! :D

 

Aww, I dunno, if EVERYONE loves me, but I think that's a pretty nice thing to say :):hug:

I suppose a more pragmatic side of me would agree with my cousin (and you)...I guess I'm just not quite ready to turn in the fairytale though.

Well I hope everything turns out great for you. Take care and have a good one.

 

I think everything will turn out just fine...it usually does in the end :)

 

Thanks for the kind words :D

 

Have an awesome day!

Awww thanks :wub::hug:

 

I definitely do feel much better :)

WOW! What a wonderfully sweet thing for you to say!! I actually got to talk to Megan today! They're doing good! They're all moved into their new place (though still unpacking), and they both start their new jobs Monday!

As for your cousin, I'm really sad about her. :( I usually feel sad for people who live their sole life according to the society. A society who doesn't care about your aches and pain. -_-

What a very wise thing to say. I definitely agree with you about not living your life for society! At the same time sometimes I think I'm not a particularly well grounded, realistic person myself.

 

*shrug* I guess one must always fight for the balance.

 

Anyway take care and have an awesome day!

WOW! I think that is an extremely insightful thing to point out! That hadn't occurred to me at all, but I think you really might be on to something! (on both counts!)

 

Thanks, Nick!

 

:hug: may your day be half as wonderful as you are ;)
